		The Nematomorpha are nearly solid, - quite so at each end, From Cambridge Natural History, vol.
		The Nematomorpha form an isolated group; at first sight they seem to be connected with the Nematoda, but in reality their only common feature is the tubular genitalia opening into a cloaca, and it seems at present impossible to connect them with the Annelida.
		Until more is known it seems wisest to look upon them as an isolated assemblage of animals with no near affinities to any of the great phyla.

	Phylogenetic Systematization of the Nemathelminthes (Aschelminthes) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		The Nemathelminthes (with the Gastrotricha, Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Kinorhyncha, Loricifera and Priapulida) constitute a monophylum (autapomorphies (3): stratified cuticle with epicuticle and basal layer; terminal anterior mouth opening; cylindrical, muscular sucking pharynx); the Rotifera and the Acanthocephala do not belong to this monophylum.
		Within the Cycloneuralia, the Nematoidea (= Nematoda + Nematomorpha) and Scalidophora (= Kinorhyncha + Loricifera + Priapulida) are sister groups.
		At present, the Nemathelminthes can best be hypothesized to be the sister group of the Spiralia (with the autapomorphy (2) "spiral cleavage") within the Gastroneuralia (with the autapomorphy (1) "ventral nervous system with longitudinal, ventrolateral cords and centralized, anteriorly located cerebral complex").

		Adult Nematomorpha are circular in section, about 1-2 mm in diameter and 10-100 cm long.
		Known as horsehair worms (for their resemblance to a rather stout horsehair) or Gordian worms (for their habit of coiling into tangled masses of two or more individuals), they occur in small bodies of still freshwater and in moist soil at the edges of ponds.
		In Nematomorpha, the somatic nervous system is reduced to a single ventral cord.

		The first known fossil record of Nematomorpha dates from the Eocene (40 - 70 million years ago), but some suggest the group may have evolved in the Paleozoic Era (over 500 million years ago).
		Nematomorpha larvae are parasites aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, including notably grasshoppers, crickets, locusts, katydids, beetles, caddisflies, dragonflies, spiders, millipedes, centipedes, crustaceans, and leeches.

	NEMATOMORPHA
		Locomotion is achieved by the same method as the Nematoda.
		The main difference between Nematomorpha adults and Nematoda adults is the degenerate gut in the Nematomorpha.
		The role of the adults is not feeding, but reproduction and dispersal, and they have a featureless body, as the name, hair worm, suggests.

	Survey Document #2147
		The phylum Nematomorpha (from the Greek nema, "thread," and morphe, "shape"), consists of a group of invertebrates, commonly called horsehair or gordian worms, that has no close relationships with any other living organisms.
		The name horsehair is derived from the worm's hair or threadlike appearance in its adult stage.
